"Teaching Fellow (Fashion Communication and Contextual Studies)"

What we’re looking for

We are looking for a dynamic and passionate Teaching Fellow to join our Fashion programme and play a key role in shaping the future of Fashion Communication and Contextual Studies.

In this unique role, your teaching will be split across two areas:

• Fashion Communication – leading studio-based practice, workshops, and tutorials that encourage creativity and innovation.
• Contextual Studies – delivering engaging lectures, seminars, and tutorials that develop academic skills and critical thinking across both Fashion Communication and Fashion Design pathways.

You will contribute to the organisation, delivery, and assessment of elements of the BA Fashion Programme, ensuring students gain the practical and theoretical knowledge they need to thrive in the industry. Alongside teaching, you will have the opportunity to engage in research and pedagogic activity, keeping your practice informed by current scholarship and industry developments.

We are seeking a candidate with a strong academic background and practical expertise in Fashion Communication, supported by a postgraduate qualification or equivalent experience. You will have experience teaching at undergraduate level or delivering professional training in creative studio environments, and the ability to teach both Fashion Communication/Promotion and Contextual Studies across undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. Your approach should reflect an awareness of global fashion culture and incorporate decolonisation in practice. Alongside teaching, you will contribute to curriculum development and ensure the effective delivery of modules, while engaging in high-quality pedagogic and scholarly activity that demonstrates a deep understanding of contemporary, global fashion markets.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone with proven experience in Fashion Communication/Promotion and delivering Contextual Studies at Higher Education level. You will bring a strong creative background; whether in Fashion Design, Fashion Communication, or a related discipline, and a commitment to delivering an outstanding student experience.

What we offer

This is a key moment to join a welcoming, ambitious, and research-informed university community that places students at the heart of everything we do. We value and invest in our staff, offering meaningful opportunities for professional development, scholarship support, and clear internal promotion routes.

As well as outstanding development support, we also offer:

• A low contractual 35-hour week
• Generous annual leave entitlement and Christmas period closure with the option to purchase additional annual leave
• Excellent pension scheme
• Access to an Employee Assistance Programme
• Family friendly policies
• Car and travel loan schemes
